agnès b., a humanitarian
“I have always believed that my life would be meaningless without social commitment.
In May 1968, I took part in all the demonstrations, helping injured people and taking them to hospital.
In the fight against AIDS, I was the first in Europe, in 1993, to distribute free condoms in my shops.
I also support environmental campaigns, such as the expeditions of the sailing ship Tara, which I bought in 2003 and whose scientific crew studies the effects of global warming.
The 21st century will be one of sharing and solidarity, or it will not be at all...”
